ReplyDeleteInternational model and brand ambassador for Shimansky, Minki van der Westhuizen, (pictured) was recently "tattooed" using 612 Shimansky Ideal Cut ™ diamonds of .5 carats each for the world's most expensive tattoo valued at R7.2 million.
ReplyDeleteThe diamonds used in the design were individually applied onto Minki's body taking a total of 8 hours to complete.
A water based adhesive was specially formulated to allow the diamonds to securely adhere to the skin for a limited period, thereafter enabling the formula to be dissolved off.
Shimansky made the news a few years ago when they created a diamond studded lingerie set worth over R1 million for one of it's customers, so unusual requests are nothing new to this luxury jeweller.
Shimansky is currently exploring the potential idea of designing and retailing luxury diamond tattoos across the eight local and four international Shimansky stores.
Other A-list clients include: Charlize Theron, Bill Clinton, Christina Aguilera, Lee Ryan, and many more.
what dermal anchors?? I worked at a tattoo shop, that's all they are. It's like a post with a flat back, a small incision is made and it's the flat back is slid underneath the skin. Not a tattoo at all.
ReplyDeletei agree it's be-dazzled. :P that's so awkward though and when it falls off wouldn't she have like dents in her body?? its just weird and if its not permanent (like destry said) why would you even do it like whats the point 2months, 1year [however long] of glamor? 924, 000 dollars wasted
ReplyDeletewow thats so pretty!!!!
ReplyDeletebut im scared of needles so it would work with mee :P
I think they're anchors, and if they are, depending on how deep they put them, they may not fall out at all. Some anchors have to be surgically removed because of how deep they've been inserted. If they do fall out, however, she could always sell the diamonds and make most of her money back. Most of the money went towards the diamonds, not actually inserting them.
ReplyDeletewhat if they all fall out that would be hilarious XD
ReplyDeletethat must've hurt
ReplyDeletewhat an idiot
ReplyDeleteit IS a tattoo. u people r retared and think its a piercing because it looks like its popping out.
ReplyDeleteTHATS WHY IT WAS EXPENSIVE. its like a pop-out paining. its supposed to look 3D
Its a frikkin Piercing dumb ass! Its called an anchor piercng, but in her case she just got a bunch of em, google it..
ReplyDeleteYou guys are all idiots. It's not a dermal piercing. Read the looongg comennt. It was a water based adhesive to make the diamonds stick. So, no it's not a piercing, no I wouldn't count it as a tattoo either, but they called it a tattoo because it's a design, where as a piercing would just be one.
ReplyDeletewhat he said ^^^
ReplyDeleteThey are melted to the skin. It's not a piercing.
ReplyDeletedoesn't that hurt?
ReplyDeleteit looks so pretty, and i have no idea what that is but its not a piercing or a tat, and yes that would obviously hurt
ReplyDeleteuglyy
ReplyDeleteThey just turned her into an arts and crafts project.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record it is a tattoo they now have lasors that make it raise above the skin now... so yeeah it is a tattoo
ReplyDeletethere is no ink...so its not a tattoo. and there are piercings without holes its called a dermal u dumbass
ReplyDeleteman you guys need life all you lol
ReplyDeleteOK.
ReplyDeletePEIRCINGS go through the skin. TATTOOS are scratched into the skin with INK. THERE IS NO INK HERE. I doubt they used some sort of diamond-pen to scratch the diamonds in, and even then they'd have to be punched in like plugs (plugs get punched through your ear when you first start). That this is EITHER is debatable, but it certainly is expensive body art.
Hear that?
It's not a peircing, it's not tattoo,
its BODY ART.
PS - dermals have holes, otherwise how is the jewelry outside attached?
ReplyDeletedumbass.
okayy this aint a piercing or a tattoo... its not even a dermal... i work in a piercing studio and learning to tattoo...
ReplyDeleteits body art, just like suicide.kittens has said....
tbh i also think its stupid wasting all that money on something that will soon fall off...
if you want body art that aint pierced or inked into the skin... get branded... i did :)
hell, shes rich an hot she can do what she wants
ReplyDeletethis is cool and exactly what ^ said
ReplyDeleteI do not think that is a very smart idea, you would have to be very careful in bed for the reason that dimaonds cut
ReplyDeleteits stupid and theres no point if ur just going to take it off soon and its a waste of money unless ur going to sell them for more than u paid-lol- but otherwise its just ridiclous and shes just going to be in pain till they come off and if she wanted permanence she should just get a tattoo or a brand or something and she will blind someone ..lol
ReplyDeletelol nearly everyone that commented on this is a douche. the long comment clearly says that they used a glue to attach the diamonds for a limeted period of time. good work guys.
ReplyDeletethat would be a bitch when she gets old and wrinkly. doesn't she realise that your skin changes as you get older or is she planning on dieing young?
ReplyDeletelooks uncomfortable
ReplyDeletethats not a tattoo.
ReplyDeleteThats a surface piercing/dermal anchors
